I show a kernel-2.4 and a kenrel-2.5 in /etc/modules.autoload.d/
This is what you should have.
$ ls /etc/modules.autoload.d/ kernel-2.4 kernel-2.5 kernel-2.6
If I do a "uname -a", it shows that I'm still running 2.4.20-gentoo-r5.
Did I do the right thing after upgradeing or do I need to reboot as well?
A portage upgrade will only place the newer kernel sources on your system. You will need to:-
(1) Configure it (2) Compile it (3) Copy it to /boot (4) Reboot
Is there some type of Standard Operating Proceedure after doing an "emerge sync" ,"emerge -u world" and/or right after downloading anytype of application..I.E. ethereal, Gaim, ect..ect.. that I should be following for best practices?
Standard operating procedure?
(1) emerge sync (2) emerge -Duvp world or emerge -uvp world (to check use flags and packages) (3) emerge -Du world OR emerge -u world (4) etc-update
Can I download other applications (tar.gz's) that aren't included in the portage tree without effecting Gentoo in anyway?
Absolutely. It's a free world. However, if there are packages that you want that are not on the portage tree it would be nice for other users if you could file a bug request for it to be added to the tree as we can all benefit from it.
With regards.
